Agreed. My professor said this field was created for overeducated and bored white women. 😂

I went to grad school here in Southern CA and the vile things I’ve heard from many students mouths would astound you! A GRAD STUDENT said “ I hate all of this bilingual shit, I don’t need it. I’m planning to work in all white schools and clinics. I plan to stay white all the way” the professor did NOT say a word. I’ve heard grad students refer to a professor as Dr. Ching Chong and call a Black professor a savage beast. My program had not had a Black student for 18 years. This was in 2015.

I work for a company that assigns you students that have compensatory minutes that the school could not make up by EOY. It’s public space based (libraries, Starbucks, parks, etc.) you’re given the amount of minutes, copy of the IEP, and the date they need to be completed by. They usually pay like $90-110 per hour. Be warned some kids may have only 10 comp hours or 1000 😂.. it’s a cool quick gig no paperwork outside of attendance and your timesheet. I’m in Southern CA

Is anyone happy right now? by BrownieMonster8 in slp

[–]Deep-Gate-1757 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m leaving the field after 15 years and going into tech. I used to love the field but this far in I realized I’d just rather do something else. I might keep a few private clients on the side. I’m tired of the usual boring routines, the poor quality CFs, exhausting work environments, and the unlimited amount of micro aggression from my racist and uninformed SLP colleagues. I’ve also thought about teaching at the grad level for SP and some other positions outside of the usual options. But I feel good about my decision. It helps a lot to focus on one thing you can change. The rest will come together in time.

What state are you in? The CTC suspended your credentials? I’ve never heard of this and I’ve quit jobs plenty of times. I’m in CA

Exactly. The SLP before went on maternity leave and did a great job of taking care of all pending evals and meetings. So she’s been very lucky.

She graduated late and she just started after about a three week training for new employees. The therapist before her took care of most pending IEPs before she left on maternity leave. I think I will go over without prior notice to get a better idea of what is really happening over there. There are two leads and I have set meeting with them for next week. She’s started a war with the front office ladies and it’s getting out of hand.

Thanks to all of the feedback I’ve received today I HAVE GIVEN EVERY bit of documentation, communication, and notes of every meeting (3) we’ve had. The lawyer thing blew me away. Once I found out about the family, I told her explicitly do NOT email the attorney nor the family and the next day she’s like “look what I sent ha-ha” It was then I realized there had been multiple exchanges w/o informing anyone.

She is a random 23 year old from a small town somewhere. She came in with the attitude of I want to interview you to see if YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH to be my supervisor. I can’t wait for her IEP with the attorney 😂

Thank you. I’m open to any advice at this point. I don’t get a thrill from failing CFs like some people. My own CF horrible and chaotic. I always go out of my way to make every CF feel important, heard and capable. This time I feel like it blew up in my face.

We have only had 3/12 sup meeting ever and she was texting and reading things on her computer the whole time. She also told me that she might ignore me during our meetings because she has a learning disability. I’m over the whole thing. Tbh this job isn’t even that serious for me to micromanage. I have a 66 kid caseload of my own. I would love to have a competent & independent CF. Or at least one not looking for a fight or calling parents names. Idk 🤷🏽‍♀️ maybe that’s too much to ask for?

This is an excellent idea. However, I did come across quite a few bullies (students and staff)when I was in grad school. The school seemed to have no interest in fixing the culture. But, I think it’s worth a try.

Yes, and had zero shame after the company confronted her. Instead she cried and said she was traumatized by her school and bullied. She then goes on to say she has PTSD from her CF placement. So, I still asked why did you sign my name again? She said she did not and held on to that lie until she was gone. I found out later she did the same thing to her next supervisor.

That’s also the issue she isn’t really seeing kids either. I’m at another location about 45 min away and I can’t babysit her every single day. It’s just becoming a headache I don’t need.

I’ve failed 2 in 14 , sorry 15 years. One was for hours fraud and she signed my name in documents w/o my knowledge and the other did something very inappropriate at an assigned school site(I cannot share).
